Shopping photos…

In the past few days I’ve been shopping quite a few photos; laying the foundation of a database for my photos, textures, patterns and so on…and I feel it’s gripping me quite strongly. You see, when I went to study in Leiden, my major was Book and Publishing. So, I got introduced to Desktop Publishing quite early on. At the time I had little experience with computers and I had a rough time with Pagemaker, but I’ve worked with DTP software ever after. I just never really got the finesse of the software. But this time, I’m getting the finesse all right! And it’s a kick!

It allows me to finally get what I have in mind onto paper. I love illustrating, but I’m poor at drawing. Not poor for hobby drawing, but poor for professional drawing. And I’m too lame to take art classes. You see, I HATE vases with flowers. And I’m not sure about sketching naked people either. And when I’m shopping my photos, I have to be honest and admit: drawing is sooooo slow compared to digital art! hehehe…

So, I’m putting in a huge effort to really get the finesse of Photoshop this time…and Illustrator’s next. I’m loving it and I can’t wait to learn more…can’t wait to incorporate what I’ve learned into my art… And the endless possibilities of incorporating my poetry in my art!!! Just imagine! And working my handdrawn elements into digital art!
